Zapped!

The Great Commission.It is what it is.“Go…. make disciples… baptize…. teach.”

The only thing required to do this is obedience.If you’re waiting for some kind of spiritual goose bumps before you feel responsible to the world or your community (which is your mission field), you’ve got it all wrong.It isn’t a question of emotion.It’s a question of submission.It isn’t a question of waiting until you get zapped from heaven.It’s not a question of closing your eyes and pointing your finger to a map on the wall that lands on South America and you say, “This is where God wants me to go!”It’s not even a matter of hearing the voice of God becaues He has already spoken. It's a question of submission and obedience to the already revealed will of God.

Welcome!

This is my personal blog. I write about making disciples, the local church, the church I pastor, and other related topics. These entries are usually directed to the congregation I lead, hopefully exerting some measure of influence on them, as well as including them with information about the state of our church. In many ways, this is my second pulpit. My blog also includes personal information about myself and family – usually very transparent, and sometimes humorous. Hope you enjoy.
